At first, I wasn’t really inspired to write much about the whole hair topic. But then I remembered a particular hair catastrophe that my mom saved me from back in high school, and I was on a roll. I did love the use of the children's book as model text, though. I should have brought up the sensitivity around the issue of hair that African American students feel.
I love the idea of using digital voice recorders in the classroom! This is definitely on my to-do list. I can already see what a valuable tool these will be for my students for revision. I also think I want to try recording myself assessing their writing. I actually think it might be kind of fun. I am eager to review podcasting tools and techniques since it has been several years since I have done anything with it…and I really want to use this for the final draft of at least one of my students’ projects.
In our discussion of Bird by Bird, I realized that I wanted to bring the teacher back into my reflection that I had written.
Finally, the webinar was helpful. The best thing I got out of it was the wiki for the book. I am definitely going to read the book while using the wiki to look at the tools he recommends.
